I'm a native speaker and it sounds off to me too. I would definitely go with "black republican woman".

Genuinely what negative ramifications could come of uutils being MIT licensed? The kernel license isn't going to change and I really don't see how companies can abuse uutils for a profit.

[–] priapus 3 points 1 week ago

The Linux kernel still is and will always be GPL. It really doesnt matter if the coreutils aren't.

Nothing. The language used has absolutely nothing to do with the license.

I'm not saying Librewolf is insecure, I'm just saying its a bit less secure. They generally do a good job keeping up to date, but there can be delays if an update conflicts with their changes.

Librewolf is not just a Firefox config. You can look at the repo and see a number of patches. Without a paid security team to review these patches with every update, it is less secure.

I'm not saying not to use Librewolf, the likelihood of a zero day specifically targeting it and effecting a significant number of users is very unlikely, simply based off of the size of its userbase compared to more mainstream browsers.

It does, but less than Firefox does. Their lack of manpower means delayed updates to fix zero days compared to Firefox. It also means less eyes on any patches introduced, so I'd be more concerned about malicious code being introduced.

There's gotta be an issue in your setup. I've never had audio issues and performance should be identical when running at the same resolution.

Do people in this thread not understand that Microsoft frequently contributes to Linux? They've already lost the battle there. They rely on Linux for servers as much as everybody else.

Not necessarily saying this is a good thing or not, but writing off any Linux contributions Microsoft makes would be pretty silly.

It just lacks manpower unfortunately. Going with a browser that has the funding for a security team is the safer option.

I agree, Mullvad is the only fork that I have confidence in the security of (ignoring Tor ofc since it's not really for general use).

Also want to add that this was caused by a configuration issue. If you want security, don't use Firefox (or its forks) default configs, look into Betterfox. Apparently Zen also uses this as the base for its default preferences, which is a good decision.

What do you mean? The dev did acknowledge it and linked to a relevant discussion.

Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.

With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.
